Yes, female athletes can stop having periods, but still ... talk about being out of touch with your own body!!

Yeah. From the picture she doesn't look like one of those 500 pound gals who wouldn't notice the extra weight. Plus, what about morning sickness, kicks to the bladder, and just, you know, the shape of her abdomen?

We had a receptionist with a doctorate somewhere in the liberal arts, equipped initially with a husband and mother-in-law who stayed at home supervising the soaps all day. She was obese. In fact, pretty close to OBESE. In addition to husband and mother-in-law she filled their tiny apartment with a surprise baby which presented as gastric distress until the very last moment. Or at least, so she averred. You hear a lot about these female oddities - virgin births, pregnancies circling about in the astral plane and alighting on singularly unhappy women who have no idea whatever that anything is up - and some of these tales seem to contravene the laws of nature. Speaking as a male, while a good deal of this is so facially improbable it makes one wonder about hysterically-induced self-delusion, I fall back on the quasi-Latin quasi-sanskit dictum I have taught my sons:

As a doc I have seen a number of women who delivered yet did not know they were pregnant. Almost every time they were extremely obese. In this case you would assume the woman in thin or at least in good shape. Thus I can not understand how she did not have a protuberant abdomen. That is unless she had an underweight child secondary to her diet. As to periods, most women who are very thin or very fat do not have regular periods.
